DRYING UP.
Bad State of Affairs in the Mississippi Val

MEMPHIS, November 19.-For the past ten
days forest fires have been raging all around
this section of the country and dense smoke
has overhung the city. Reports this afternoon
are of serious nature. Travel over the Kan
sas City road has been temporarily suspended by
the forest fires. Great damage is also reported
to fences and farm houses along the lines of
the Louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake and
Ohio and Southwestern, Mississippi and Ten
nesee and Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
railroads from these fires. A train on the
Chesapeake and Ohio, which left here last
evening, was delayed several hours north
of this city owing to the flames
which swept across the track at
various points. The greatest danger
is to be feared from burned trestles and bridges,
and none OF the trains on the roads mentioned
are running on schedule time. The long
continued drouth, which has prevailed since
July, has literally dried up the country, and
navigation is in bad condition Steamboats,
cannot find sufficient water even in the Mis-
sissippi river to carry full cargoes, and many
OF its tributaries, too, are lower than ever
known before. A steamboat man reports that
the sunken lands near New Madrid, Mo,
where extensive depressions were made in the
country by the earthquake Of 1914, and which
have since been converted into swamps and
lakes, are now nearly dry from the drouth and
the low water in the river, and vegetable
matter and lodges, which have long been
buried there, have taken fire and been burning
Tor days AS consequence many square miles
of that country are on fire, which is burning out
accommodated peat and vegetable mold,
where it is dry enough. Nothing OF the kind
has been experienced for great number Of
years, according to the oldest inhabitants. The
bottom lands of the Mississippi valley are also
on fire, and considerable damage is being done to
valuable timber, and farmers in many instances
have been compelled TO fight these fires to save
their ginhouses from destruction. A high wind
prevails tonight, which will 10 doubt cause
serious disaster.

kansas is seriously interrupted, and messages
are received "subject TO delay The extent

SCALES OF GOLD
Clinging to the Rocks of Ari-
IONA.
MARVELLOUS WEALTH DISCOVERED

PRESCOTT, Ari., November 15.-Private adj
vices show that the recently discovered gold
mine, ten miles from here, on the Lassayampa
river, is richer by far than anything ever dis
covered in the world. The ore averages 81 900
per ton and thousands of tons are in sight.
Two men yesterday, with a common mortar,
pounded out $500 i'll less than an hour. The
gold clings to the rock in the purest scales. A
man with a knife can scale off handful in q
few minutes. There is every indication that
the ledge contains fabulous wealth. This
river has produced millions in years past in
placer mining, and on one occasion pocket
was found which yielded 100000 in few
weeks. People are focking there in great
numbers.
